KorAP web service client package for Python

Project Status: Active – The project has reached a stable, usable state and is being actively developed. CI check Last commit GitHub closed issues GitHub issues GitHub license HitCount PyPI - Python Version PyPI - Downloads

Description

Python client wrapper package to access the web service API of the KorAP Corpus Analysis Platform developed at IDS Mannheim. Currently, this is no native Python package. Internally, it uses KorAP's client package for R via rpy2. The latter also automatically translates between R data frames (or tibbles) and pandas DataFrames.

Installation

1. Install R (version >= 3.5)

From CRAN or, alternatively, on some recent Linux distributions:

#### Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install -y r-base r-base-dev r-cran-tidyverse r-cran-r.utils r-cran-pixmap r-cran-webshot r-cran-ade4 r-cran-segmented r-cran-purrr r-cran-dygraphs r-cran-cvst r-cran-quantmod r-cran-graphlayouts r-cran-rappdirs r-cran-ggdendro r-cran-seqinr r-cran-heatmaply r-cran-igraph r-cran-plotly libcurl4-gnutls-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev libsodium-dev python3-pip python3-rpy2 python3-pandas

#### Fedora / CentOS / RHEL
sudo yum install -y R R-devel libcurl-devel openssl-devel libxml2-devel libsodium-devel python3-pandas

2. Windows only: Point environment variables to your R installation, e.g.:

set R_HOME="C:Program Files\R\R-4.0.2"
set R_USER=%R_HOME%
set PATH=%R_HOME%\bin;%R_HOME%\bin\x64;%PATH%

3. Install the R package

Rscript -e "install.packages('RKorAPClient', repos='https://cloud.r-project.org/')"

4. Install the Python package

python3 -m pip install KorAPClient

Documentation

The core classes and methods to access the KorAP API are documented in the KorAPClient API documentation. For additional, mostly static helper functions, please refer to the Reference Manual of RKorAPClient for now. For translating R syntax to Python and vice versa, refer to the rpy2 Documentation.

Please note that some arguments in the original RKorAPClient functions use characters that are not allowed in Python keyword argument names. For these cases, you can however use Python's **kwargs syntax. For example, to get the result of corpusStats as a pandas.DataFrame, and print the size of the whole corpus in tokens, you can write:

from KorAPClient import KorAPConnection
kcon = KorAPConnection(verbose=True)
print(kcon.corpusStats(**{"as.df": True})['tokens'][0])

Examples

Frequencies of "Hello World" over years and countries

from KorAPClient import KorAPClient, KorAPConnection
import plotly.express as px

QUERY = "Hello World"
YEARS = range(2010, 2019)
COUNTRIES = ["DE", "CH"]

kcon = KorAPConnection(verbose=True)

vcs = ["textType=/Zeit.*/ & pubPlaceKey=" + c + " & pubDate in " + str(y) for c in COUNTRIES for y in YEARS]
df = KorAPClient.ipm(kcon.frequencyQuery(QUERY, vcs))
df['Year'] = [y for c in COUNTRIES for y in YEARS]
df['Country'] = [c for c in COUNTRIES for y in YEARS]

fig = px.line(df, title=QUERY, x="Year", y="ipm", color="Country",
              error_y="conf.high", error_y_minus="conf.low")
fig.show()

Frequency per million words of “Hello World“ in DE vs. AT from 2010 to 2018 in newspapers and magazines

Command Line Invocation

The Python KorAP client can also be called from the command line and shell scripts:

$ korapclient -h
usage: python -m KorAPClient [-h] [-v] [-l QUERY_LANGUAGE] [-u API_URL] [-c VC [VC ...]] [-q QUERY [QUERY ...]]

Send a query to the KorAP API and print results as tsv.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose
  -l QUERY_LANGUAGE, --query-language QUERY_LANGUAGE
  -u API_URL, --api-url API_URL
                        Specify this to access a corpus other that DeReKo.
  -c VC [VC ...], --vc VC [VC ...]
                        virtual corpus definition[s]
  -q QUERY [QUERY ...], --query QUERY [QUERY ...]
                        If not specified only the size of the virtual corpus will be queried.

example:
  python -m KorAPClient -v --query "Hello World" "Hallo Welt" --vc "pubDate in 2017" "pubDate in 2018" "pubDate in 2019"

Accessed API Services

By using the KorAPClient you agree to the respective terms of use of the accessed KorAP API services which will be printed upon opening a connection.
